Muskuloskeletal Physiotherapy
What is it?
This is the field of physiotherapy which relates to disorders of the muscles, spinal and peripheral joints, bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage & nerves.
Common causes of musculoskeletal pain include sports injuries, poor working environment & ergonomics, repetitive strain injuries, poor/sustained postures, heavy lifting, direct trauma/fractures, altered biomechanics, being overweight.
Effective assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries/pain are based on a solid foundation of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics of the body.
